Mount the Panel
Mount the controller to a panel by using two screws per module. Use M4 or
#8 panhead screws. Mounting screws are required on every module.
This procedure lets you use the assembled modules as a template for drilling
holes in the panel.
1. On a clean work surface, assemble no more than three modules.
2. Using the assembled modules as a template, carefully mark the center
of all module-mounting holes on the panel.
3. Return the assembled modules to the clean work surface, including
any previously mounted modules.
4. Drill and tap the mounting holes for the recommended M4 or #8
screw.
5. Place the modules back on the panel and check for proper hole
alignment.
6. Attach the modules to the panel by using the mounting screws.
7. Repeat steps 1...6 for any remaining modules.
IMPORTANT
Due to module mounting hole tolerance, it is important to follow these
procedures.
TIP
The grounding plate, that is, where you install the mounting screws,
enables the module to be grounded when it is panel-mounted.
TIP
If you are mounting more modules, mount only the last one of this group and
put the others aside. This reduces remounting time when you are drilling
and tapping the next group of modules.
